Course Outline
Introduction
Cluster Setup
- Apply network security policies to restrict cluster-level access
- Use the CIS benchmark to review the security configuration of Kubernetes components (etcd, kubelet, kube-dns, kube-apiserver)
- Correctly configure Ingress objects with appropriate security controls
- Protect node metadata and endpoints
- Minimize the use of and access to GUI elements
- Verify platform binaries before deployment
Cluster Hardening
- Restrict access to the Kubernetes API
- Utilize Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) to minimize exposure
- Exercise caution when using service accounts (e.g., disable defaults, minimize permissions on newly created accounts)
- Keep Kubernetes updated regularly
System Hardening
- Minimize the host operating system footprint to reduce the attack surface
- Limit IAM roles
- Minimize external network access
- Properly utilize kernel hardening tools such as AppArmor and seccomp
Minimize Microservice Vulnerabilities
- Configure appropriate OS-level security domains (e.g., using PSP, OPA, security contexts)
- Manage Kubernetes secrets effectively
- Employ container runtime sandboxes in multi-tenant environments (e.g., gVisor, Kata Containers)
- Implement pod-to-pod encryption using mTLS
Supply Chain Security
- Minimize the base image footprint
- Secure your supply chain: whitelist allowed image registries, sign and validate images
- Perform static analysis of user workloads (e.g., Kubernetes resources, Dockerfiles)
- Scan images for known vulnerabilities
Monitoring, Logging, and Runtime Security
- Conduct behavioral analytics of syscall, process, and file activities at both the host and container levels to detect malicious behavior
- Identify threats across physical infrastructure, applications, networks, data, users, and workloads
- Detect all phases of an attack regardless of origin or propagation method
- Perform in-depth analytical investigations to identify bad actors within the environment
- Ensure container immutability at runtime
- Utilize Audit Logs to monitor access
